A limited edition (1978) Canon F-1 in olive drab. The only F-1 not in black. Only 3K were made worldwide, and at the time, they were only available in Japan. No, it’s not a military camera, think more of a safari camera.

I’ve added a Canon Power Winder F and an early chrome nose Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 lens. A custom OD strap completes the safari look.

It’s been well looked after, and I use it on occasion, so it’s not just a display piece. One of my favorite Canons.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris
